SUGGESTION for Print library
On October 13, 2022 Logos advertised that those who buy the new Logos 10 platform starting at $850, could freely add their add their PRINT books to Logos by simply scanning in the barcodes on their print books:
"Print Library Catalog. Scan the barcode of your print books to add them to your Logos library as searchable resources."
I have no need to buy Logos 10 for $850, as there are no books in that package that I am interested in.
I do have a number of print books that I would like to add to my Logos library (for convenience), but I will never buy them from Logos as the Logos prices are sky high, and I already have them in print.
As a suggestion, perhaps Logos can offer electronic editions of the books we already have in print, for say 80% off the Logos price. I imagine that Logos would sell tens of thousands of books that they would not otherwise sell at all. Very few people would buy a print book, and then purchase the same electronic book at such high prices. I would think that 80% off the digital books we already have in print, would make tons of money for Logos.
Here is CROSSWAY'S policy: "With every purchase of an eligible print book, receive the ebook for free".
I have bought a number of print books from Crossway because they are cheaper than Logos e-books. PLUS, Crossway gives away the free ebook!!
Logos could have a similar policy: "For 80% off, scan the barcode of your print books to add them to your Logos library as searchable resources".
Thank you,
J

I saw that in looking at Logos 10 packages that "Print Library Catalog" was priced at $49.99, which leads me to believe that in the future it will be purchasable as an add-on when the software update to Logos 10 is free regardless of purchasing a new package. I purchase books almost every month as needed or some of the monthly sale picks, so I support the software development a, little at a time every month. I would gladly pay the $50 for the Print Library Catalog upgrade to catalog all the books I have from seminary, etc.
I agree with you too Jeff, a discount for purchased print books would be nice, even a modest percentage off. But more than anything I'm excited at the potential to digitally search my physical library.0
